Congrats on your first T206! It's a great set to collect; you'll have a lot of fun.

I bought my first two T206s back in the early 1990's and still have them today - and I'll never get rid of them. It wasn't until 17 years later that I started collecting the T206 set.

Those are nice Jason! Looks like you have the whole set now too. Maybe some day.

Hey Donnie, congrats and welcome! Same to you Steve (HoggZilla)

T206's are definitely addicting. Good luck hunting-

Sincerely, Clayton

P.S. Here's my first T206, still have it too

Indeed sir. At one time my father had the entire set. Wish I was around back then to see it .

How did your father define the "entire set" ? Did he actually have a Wagner? Just curious.

He actually had three Wagners, though not all at the same time. My father was also involved with setting up various other collectors with their own T206 Wagner cards. This was all in the late 60's to mid 80's.

Only card in the set that he didn't have was the Doyle variation, as it was discovered after his entire collection had been sold.

Not only that (and I know it sounds far fetched) but he purchased his first Wagner for 20 cents. There's an article out there somewhere from the 70's where he mentions it. Will see if I can track it down.
